I need libusb-0.1 to build some older software, but libusb-0.1 build
fails due to a warning from the current GCC version. (Evidently libusb-
0.1 is set to die on any warning.) The attached patch silences the
warning.

Thanks for your patch! I'm wondering though, whether it wouldn't be more
resilient to add a -Wno-error flag instead. After all, the compiler is
going to get upgraded sooner or later, which will introduce new
warnings, and libusb 0.1 isn't getting any upgrades...

A quick grep suggests that this wouldn't be the first package to disable
Werror. Makes sense, since this mode is mostly useful to developers, and
not packagers.

What do you think?

Kind regards,
Jakub Kądziołka

Sounds good to me. Can you make the edit to the patch?
